Hello net,
I've got a problem that has me rather puzzled. We have a
piece of software that manages data transfers between a PS/2
and an IBM host via the IBM 3270 card. This software runs
perfectly on a PS/2 Model 50, and on the Model 60 when an older
style 3270 card is used. However, when a 3270-B card is used in
the Model 60, it doesn't work. The same card and program works
in the Model 50.
My questions are: 1) what are the differences between the 3270-A
and 3270-B? (IBM has been fairly close-mouthed about this), *and*
2) what possible difference between the 50 and 60 could cause
such bizarre behavior? Looking at the Ps/2 Tech. Ref. manual,
there doesn't seem to be that much difference between the two.
Please reply via e-mail if possible. If interest warrants, and
*IF* I get any replies, I'll summarize to the net. Thanks.
